the Mayflower Society Patriot to Passenger Project
As more and more information becomes available on the internet, descendants are reaching out to connect their Revolutionary War Patriot with the Mayflower Society. Many Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution Societies (DAR and SAR) are asking if they also have an ancestral tie to a Mayflower passenger and are interested in finding how they may become a member.
The Patriot to Passenger Project is a growing published list of Patriots who descend from Mayflower passengers in an effort to build a bridge between other heritage societies. So many of our Mayflower members are also members of other lineage societies such as DAR, SAR, Colonial Dames, etc. We often see many of our friends at these other meetings.
The Patriot to Passenger Project is a way to help others find their link to a Mayflower Pilgrim and also benefits our Mayflower members to discover other Mayflower lines of descent so that they can submit supplemental applications to honor and recognize all of their ancestors.
This project is a work in progress. If you have any ideas, thoughts or suggestions, please contact Muriel Cushing at Flash1620@comcast.net.

Redlands SAR Patriot Ancestors Map
Redlands S.A.R interactive online map showing our patriot ancestors.Points on the map Show where each of our ancestors either entered into their patriotic service or performed their service.
To use the map you can zoom in to see the dots in better context and click on the dot to see a brief biographical sketch of the patriot and their contribution.
I can have Esri host the data on servers that I manage. I've already got most of a basemap of colonial north America completed and served on Esri servers, and we can use that. We would make the map available through the RedlamdsSAR.org website. We would ask members for the following information within [ ]s below to be put in this short standard narrative:
[ancestor name & rank or title] was born on [birth date] in [town, county, colony or country]. He/She performed the patriotic service at [town, county, colony or country] by [fill in the act or service they embarked upon].
[optional paragraph summarizing any other notable contributions in 100-200 words].
[name & rank or title] died on [date] in [town, county, colony or country], and was buried [location if known].
For example my Ancestor's dot, when click on, would show a small window with the following text:
Major Isaac Frye was born in 1748 in Andover, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He performed the patriotic service of responding to the alarm for the battle of Lexington and Concord from the town of Wilton, New Hampshire, enlisting as a 2nd lieutenant in the 3d New Hampshire Regiment of what would become the Continental Army on April 21st, 1775 at Medford, Massachusetts.
Isaac Frye served continuously as an officer in the Continental Army from its first day of existence until its final day in November of 1783. He was given a captain's commission in November of 1776. He was breveted a Major by an act of Congress that same month. He fought in the battles of Bunker Hill, Freeman's Farm, Bemis Heights, Tioga, King's Bridge, and was among the reserves who entered Redoubt #10 last at Yorktown. He also served in the Defense of Canada Campaign in 1776 and was at Valley Forge for the winter of 1778. He also served as a captain in the First American Regiment of Foot during the first half of 1784.
Isaac Frye died in November of 1791 of an unnamed illness at his farm in Wilton, New Hampshire. He is buried at Vale End Cemetery in a now unmarked grave.
Please supply as much of the information as you can on the form below and submit it so we can include your patriot ancestor.
Thank you
